This program is a part of a mini-professional development series, Artists’ Toolkit: The Business of Art presented by the Somerville Arts Council and Somerville Museum that provides resources to the Somerville cultural community to elevate their artistic practice.

How should I price my work?

As artists, this can be an all-too familiar phrase and cyclical scenario. Your painting is done, but what’s next? Finding the value of a finished piece can feel like a challenge and be a difficult hurdle to navigate: What’s my worth? Should I have flexibility in my pricing? How do I establish relationships with galleries, retail venues, etc.?

In this panel discussion, studio director and gallery professionals, Lynn Gervens (MudFlat Pottery Studio) and Marie Craig (Fountain Gallery), will define best industry practices, answer frequently asked questions about the selling process, and provide strategies for generating appropriate pricing for your work. So, come on down and join us for “the Price is Right” and realize the true value of your art.
